@StoicGiraffee @JENFL23 Great idea! That’s what we all agree on!! How do we do this? Strategies the @RedBeretsM4A have worked towards this goal:

1. Volunteering thousands of hours to try to elect Bernie.
2. Volunteering for & donating to elect progressives.
3. Co-organized national marches.

(Cont),

@StoicGiraffee @JENFL23 @RedBeretsM4A 4. Worked through creative means to build coalitions and build solidarity in this movement, which is why we were reached out to by Shareef Snuggs @iam4M4A to partner with M4M4ALL.
5. Boosted the hell out of progressive independent media who are platforming M4A organizers,

@StoicGiraffee @JENFL23 @RedBeretsM4A @iam4M4A 6. Lobbied/protested outside our legislators offices to pressure them to co-sponsor (incl, call and email for years)
7. Attend town halls and canvassing events where I personally was assaulted by an elected congressman. (Yes, that happened)!
8. Attended the historic DC hearing,

@StoicGiraffee @JENFL23 @RedBeretsM4A @iam4M4A 9. At that same hearing, #RedBerets @GeoDavenport, who founded @WholeWashington, not only attended the hearing for Rep Jayapal’s hr 1384, she and @couchpilotnye also visited Reps offices with letters from constituents, so they actively pressured hold outs while in D.C.

@StoicGiraffee @JENFL23 @RedBeretsM4A @iam4M4A @GeoDavenport @WholeWashington @couchpilotnye 10. @GeoDavenport led the organizing of 11 or maybe it was 12 barnstorms across Wa state, to educate & to take action to pressure for co-sponsorship for Rep Jayapal’s Medicare for All bill! This was part of a call to action/campaign organized nationwide by @NationalNurses! (Cont)
